It works for me. I just did this:
/opt/X11/bin/Xnest :10
and in another terminal:
DISPLAY=:10 /opt/X11/bin/xterm
What do you think is failing with Xephyr and Xnest. Please don't just downgrade without reporting the problems, or they won't get fixed.

I'm glad there is someone who is still trying since it is inevitable that some version of Snowleopard will become the default. I need to have stable platforms for the upcoming experimental run so I will stop "upgrading" until at least September 2010.
